In the given sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.

Freedom of expression meaning the right to express one’s own convictions and beliefs.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. meaning the right.

  1. The error lies in part 2 of the statement because of the wrong use of "Main verb".
  2. We need to replace "meaning" with "means" for making the statement grammatically correct.

Grammatical Concept:- 

  • After the subject, we need a finite verb.
  • "v1 and v2" is considered as the finite verb.
  • As the subject is singular "v5/singular" will be the correct answer.
  • The chosen option contains the ERROR hence, it will be the correct answer.

The correct sentence will be- 

Freedom of expression means the right to express one’s own convictions and beliefs.
